Brave Boy Risks His Life to Save Baby Deer from Drowning

A boy in Bangladesh has risked his life by jumping into raging flood waters to save a baby deer who was helplessly separated from his family. These powerful photos show the boy, named Belal, holding the fawn in one hand above the water, even when his own head was below.

Wildlife photographer Hasibul Wahab who photographed the rescue said, “My friend was even ready to jump into the river to save the boy. But he made it, and when he returned, we thanked the boy.”
